CVE-2014-6418

net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, does not properly validate auth replies, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted data from the IP address of a Ceph Monitor.

This issue did not affect the versions of the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7.0 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 (as they did not include support for this feature).
